No ones talking about it, losing Alexander Arnold has been a big loss for how they play. The diagonal balls he could hit for their wide men to come in off the flanks doesn’t happen.

If you sit in like United did yesterday it denies Liverpool the space to counter quickly which has been a hallmark of how the play over the last 8 years or so.

The crown of champions can be a heavy one, they are far from being out of the title race just yet. However yoi have to question if they have the mind set to defend the title. They went on the piss for the last few weeks of the season rather than keeping the winning momentum going. City don’t seem to get the plaudits from outside of the club, but what Pep did motivating our lot to win it four times in a row and keeping the players hungry to do it was an unbelievable effort.

This all day long. Yet can’t remember when he last won PL manager of the month

Simple solution. Tell Posh to stop taking it up the arse.

Take it to court, just see her have to answer the question in the witness stand. ;-)
"And is this true?"

 

[Brightwell Bros.]

You're saying they spent all that money just to get Wirtz. Eh? Eh?

 

[Father Paul]

I've been saying it all season, even a month ago when some knob on here said they were "light years" ahead of us and our current squad would never catch them. They were ragging late wins which I knew wouldn't continue based on the way they were playing, they were and still are leaking goals and I don't rate them as contenders above us.

I stick by my assessment at the end of last season, I think Slot got lucky, he had Klopp's squad, but with the leash taken off but they still dropped 31 points - the equivalent of 10 losses and a draw - and their winning tally wouldn't have been enough to catch us in ANY of our last 6 title winning seasons.

Had it not been for injuries last season we'd have at least finished above them and I think we have an even better squad now. I genuinely believe that we've signed some of the most talented skilful players available in Donnarumma, Khusanov, Marmoush, Reijnders, Cherki and I'm adding Bobb to that list. If we can get these guys to light up and gel with the squad I honestly don't think anyone will get near us.

Well we have a chance coming up shortly to show just how bad they are and how much we are improving.

As a Liverpool supporter I can't understand taking a side that has just won the league and dismantling it piecemeal . I suppose you could say Slot had earned the right to do that by winning the league but now we will see what he is really made of . The club have backed him big time so nobody can say he hasn't been backed. What has surprised me is that he has continued to make the same mistakes time after time. It's still early days but he now has to earn his corn

Fucking hell, Isak cost them 150 million euro? I didn't realise it was anything remotely close to that. I thought the fee for Wirtz was bad enough.

The respective selling clubs must be laughing all the way to the bank, and it puts Slot under serious pressure if it goes tits up, which it easily could do because you're disrupting a title winning side (albeit from a low bar, needing only 83 points).

Even if only one or two of those players don't work out this could seriously backfire. You only have to look at what happened to the rags after 2013..

 

[mancboy]

isaak is another grealish , he is a good player but not worth what they paid and never will be, where he differs from grealish is that he wont get continually hounded from the media for not living up to the price tag. If city had signed a striker for 125m and theyd scored 1 in 7 there would be a loop on ssn about what a failure they had been.

 

[Tolmie scores]

Thatcher was a proper c*nt though..managed decline,,sold off crown jewels,,,accelerated housing crisis with right to buy...no social housing left. etc she was misguided and didn't understand macro economics...v.poor if i was marking her school work!

Ive a pal, born and bred Stockport , no links whatsoever to liverpool/merseyside, supports livepool since the 80s. Once said he is “scouse not english” and talked about thatchers managed decline of liverpool. Odd bunch in

Liverpool’s transfer activity in the summer was what City used to do 5-6 years ago by bringing in proven Premier League and European talent and integrating them into the squad. They have purchased some very good players and you can see the logic of why they went after those targets.

If you stand still and keep going with the players that made you successful rather than evolving it brings problems. City encountered that last summer when the squad that had won four in row needed to be broken up and refreshed.

The players they have brought in I wouldn’t right them off just yet. It’s October, Liverpool are 4 points off top and an a point behind City. Lots of football to be played before the trophies are handed out in May.

Just wish our lads had delayed going on the piss until after they played the rags at Wembley.

It can't have escaped everyone's notice that slot is an anagram of lost

And Klopp is an anagram of (K)plop - the k is silent like in knot.

yeah and we all know this but we were written off for losing two on the spin and called allsorts, but for the dippers losing four on the spin is spun that its only early, players integrating blah blah, a little consistency would be nice.

 

[Kamaro011]

I'm forever be grateful that our board is not stupid and reckless likes dippers and some of our fans are regarding transfer plans last summer.

Imagine if i any of us takes charge for squad rebuilding, it will be guarantee a total failure with reckless spending and the players that we doesn't really need at alll.

I kind of agree but their spending puts City's in the shade and it is probably only the first 2-3 years after 2008 that are really comparable. To spend that much and have a shit defence with little depth if pretty stupid too.

Klopp won last years title. I said it the time slot was spending the Liverpool war chest - silly club for giving that much money to an untried manager. Especially after they relatively underfunded klopp during his time there.

It's now a make or break season for Liverpool, fail to move forward from last year and there won't be any more money from your American backers.

 

[BlueAnorak]

4 games ago, many Liverpool fans were banging on about Liverpool going the whole season unbeaten....
That worked out well.

They’ve probably looked at the landscape in the Premier League and thought they could steal a march on other clubs by spending from a position of power being champions. The players they go after though is what we did early in Pep’s tenure. Walker, Gundogan, Bernardo Silva, Mahrez, Stones etc. All either were doing it in the Premier League or Champions league as apposed to what we do now and buy with potential in mind,

What have Liverpool FC got in common with Prince Andrew? Both gave up their titles this weekend, despite paying out millions and having an enormous sense of self-entitlement.
